The largest Mac n Cheese I ever bought from any restaurant in my life. The size itself worth of 5 stars review. Fries are large too. One big can of beer and you’re ready to go 😎 Highly recommend ✌️

In town, so we decided to visit a recommendation from Chef Guy Fieri. He was right, classic, good tasting pub food. It was delicious. The service was a little bit lack luster. The bartender seemed preoccupied with not being there.

Love this Dever tavern with fabulous bar food - made in house tater tots, hot sauces, corned beef, and the pork rinds are shockingly good with a hot spice dusting. Great beer selections, and if you're lucky on a Tuesday the owner is behind the bar. Adequate street parking, lots of indoor seating, and I'm loving all the paint on velvet bar decor!

We were here on a Saturday night so I thought it would be packed but it actually wasn't too bad. The waitress was very prompt coming over to give us menus. She's also very polite and nice, the food was great. We had an overall good experience.
